In 1918, a German U-boat on a clandestine mission to the United States vanishes without a trace.
Ten years later, Christopher Sheppard finds himself thrust into a deadly race. He must find the truth behind the missing submarine, and why someone is willing to risk it all to stop him. From the streets of New York, to a cat and mouse game played out all across Europe, to the desolate shores of Greenland, Sheppard must protect the headstrong daughter of a US billionaire looking for the truth about her brother's death during the war, all the while trying to keep one-step ahead of a man, blinded by grief, who will stop at nothing until he has his revenge.
Richard Turner proudly served in the Armed Forces for more than thirty years.

Wanting to try something new, he now spends his time writing.
Some of Richard's favourite authors include: James Rollins, Andy McDermmott and the many novels of Clive Cussler.
This is the riveting sequel to The Last Eagle and it didn’t disappoint. Christopher Sheppard is back once again with the same amount of action and intrigue as the first novel. From the opening car chase the reader is pulled into another globe-trotting mission. I was glad to see that the locations in A Fragment of Destiny were again unique and the conventions of the genre were followed while remaining fresh. Sheppard is a well fleshed out hero that isn’t granted super human abilities. His ultimate success never seems a given, but we still root for him when he falters. The new characters added to this novel each fill their roles admirably; from the love interest to the villains, their reactions and attitudes feel real. Altogether this is a solid sequel and I look forward to reading more.
